Watch Karl go head-to-head with CGI artist Ethan Davis as he works to create an Apple Watch image that’s every bit as slick as Ethan’s CG render.  As Karl takes you step-by-step through his creative process, you’ll see him experiment with different lighting setups to achieve the perfect gradients and shadows. This includes using a range of different studio lights in conjunction with various modifiers and reflectors.  To deal with issues related to perspective and focal length, he tries different lenses and opts to take a focus-stacking approach, capturing a number of shots to composite in post-production. This is intended to ensure perfect sharpness across the entirety of the whole image.  This product photography masterclass is full of useful techniques and tips to help you produce super-polished ad-style photographs.
